[comp.sys.next] How do I set up a "Configuration Server" by hand?

epsilon@wet.UUCP (Eric P. Scott) (10/30/89)

I created a netinfo domain to serve a cluster of NeXTs; when the
server starts up I get the "can't locate parent" nonsense; after
a few seconds it times out and things proceed normally.  Is this
fixable?

The setup I did in 0.9 wouldn't find the parent domain in 1.0, so
I added information about the parent to the server's local master
property (why?  I dunno!) and it worked (other than the problem
described above).

For those of you who have set up Configuration Servers with
NetManager: does it work?  What properties/values does it set
up?  Note that we can't use "network" as a domain name, I don't
think NetManager has the flexibility to do what I want, and I
really don't want to take a machine away to exhaustively reverse
engineer the "I know what's good for you and you don't need to
know what I'm really doing" GUI.
